Use the DeepWiki MCP server
in VS Code

Ask questions about any public GitHub repo's documentation and architecture. This guide connects DeepWiki to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: DeepWiki in VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect DeepWiki to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use DeepWiki — logged and governed through your gateway.

What to ask once it’s connected

“How does authentication work in this repo?”
“Explain the architecture of the LangChain codebase.”
“Where is rate limiting implemented in this project?”
“Summarize this repo's contribution guidelines.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same DeepWiki connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool DeepWiki exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything VS Code did with DeepWiki — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

DeepWiki passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
